Publisher was made available for purchase directly from Serif's website and also available from the Mac App Store and Microsoft Store. The first full version of Publisher (using the 1.7 version number, to align with other Affinity products) was first released on June 19, 2019, in conjunction with Serif's 2019 'Affinity Live' event, during which the company also announced the StudioLink integration features for the first time. A free public beta of the software was made available for both macOS and Windows on August 30, 2018.
